How to Backside Noseblunt| Ryan Gallant

What this video teaches

Ryan Gallant explains backside nose blunt slides on a ledge, framing the setup like a frontside nose slide you fake into before turning, and stressing weight on the toe side to avoid digging in and getting stuck. Short, casual trick-tip format aimed at skaters who already have backside grinds and tails down.

Key tips

• 1Have your other backside ledge tricks, like back lips and back tails, solid first, since backside nose blunts use the same look-over-the-shoulder motion
• 2Roll up close to the ledge at only a slight angle, staying nearly parallel to it as you set up your ollie
• 3Ollie a good amount higher than the ledge and get your toe-side wheels over the edge before turning in
• 4Once you are up over the ledge, turn quickly and poke the board in with a motion similar to a frontside nose slide lock-in
• 5Stay weighted on your toe side while sliding; leaning onto your heel side digs the board in and stops the slide instead of letting it glide
• 6To exit, turn your front foot in front of you, straighten back out, and turn your hips back to roll away cleanly
• 7Practicing the motion on curbs first, imagining a pro's style, helps build the muscle memory before moving to bigger ledges
